S.C.l. 5-Chatham ll This year the junior team was grouped with Petrolia High School and Chatham Collegiate. They played their firsft game at Chatham on Oc't. II. The Sarnians were rath- er ligh-t and ineffective againsrt the heavy Chatlham team but they fought hard all the way through and succeeded in getting the better of the pllay in the lasat quarter. The veterans of the junior team, Turn- bull, McDonald, and McMillan, play- ed great footlball, w'hile Fraser and Palmer, two n-ewcomers, gave the Chatham team many anxious mom- ents with their brilliant runs. T S.C.I. 12-Petrolia 0 Tlhe juniors played their first home game at the Colle-giate campus on Friday, October 18, when a fight- ing squad toppled Uhe Hard Oils I2- O, and Went insto a three-cornered tie for first place.. Sarn-ia had a smoother and more diversified aft- tack than the Petrolia lads, the win- ners plunging and running with eq- ual success while Petrolia resorted only to a plunging attack. 1' ' 'A .ma 'r'i f McMillan was the outstanding penformer for the S.C.I., although McDonald played great football and scored both toucihdowns for his team. Turnbull and Law featured with some nice tackling while Mc- Kenzie consistently outkicked the Petrolia ,pun-ter. For tlhe losers Rose was perhaps the best while O'Dell and Landon turned in 'good games. - s.c.1. 19-Ch:-1tham'0 The S.C.l. juniors scored their second shutout victory when they defeated Chat-ham I9-0 on'Oct. 28 on the school campus. The Sarnia squad went into-the game deter-, minedto turnpback their erstwhile conquerors and in'a short time had taken the lead which they increased as the game pr-ogressed. Although the Chatham outfit complewtely out- weighed our juniors they could not cope witlh the running attack of the Sarnia Halves. Sarnia secured 'two touchdowns on onside kicks with Fraser being on the receiving end. Tfhe other major score was-secured by McMillan on a pretty end run. 'Lnt',.c: 4.

120 THE COLLEGIATE S.C.I. 8-Petrolia 0 The S.'C.I. juniors cinched their group title when they defeated the Petrolia juniors 8-o on Nov. 2 in Peltrolia. The game was played in a heavy rain and it was impossible for the pllayers to han-dle the ball safely. Fumbles were numerous but none of them resulwted in major scores. The game was much cl-oser than the score would indicate and it was impossible to determine a win- ner til'l the final whistle blew. Fras- er netted the only touchidown of the game when he gathered in an onside and raced over the Pe-trolia line. For the winners no individual star coulld be pickedg their team work alone couniting for their vic- tory. For the losers Rose and Nap- per played very effective games. S.C.I. 15-Assumption 5 Assumption college of Windsor were our next victims in the W.O.S. S.A. sem-i-finals. First game was played here on' Nov. I4Q tlhe S.C.l. succeeding in chalking up a I5-5 victory over the Assumption twelve. The heavy Windsor team was rather handicapped by Uhe muddy under- footing and' could not stop the run- nig offensive of the Sarnia team. The Sarnia team put up a great game and certainly earned their ten point lead. T.he Windsor score was made by McKay, who intercepted a Sarnia pass and ran the length of the fie.ld for a touchdown. ' S.C.I. 2-Assumption 17 T'he tables were turned complete- ly in VVindsor on Nov. I7 and the seconds were on the wrong end of I7-2 score. The determined Windsor huskies sailed into the lighter Sarnia te-am from tihe sltart. The S.'C.l. put up a stuibborn ba-t'tle against their heavier opponents and .although beaten, they were certainly far from disgraced. For the winners Posp-echil, Raten- bury, and Borsche -bore the brunt of the attack, w'hile Burden and Mc- Millan kept trying hard for the locals. SENIOR BASKETBALL S.C.I. 17-Old Boys 24 O-n january 4, the comparatively inexperienced school team met in the annual clash with the Old Boys, who had one of the strongest teams in years. It was not surpris-ing that the school wfent down in defeat, be- cause the Old Boys' quintet consist- ed of Car-ter, McKay and Vanl-lorne on the forward line and Son Jen- nings, Millman and Nichol at guards. The school team started off fast and Proutit scored five points in as many minu-tes. The sc'hool was leading by two points at half-time, but in the last half, Carter and jen- nings cornfbined well and punt the Old Boys in the lead which they held un- till the whistle blew. The sc-hool team played good basketball with Pro-utt taking individual scoring honours For the Old Boys, Carter was undoubtedly th-e star. St. Thomas 24-S.C.l. 7 i This year our team was grouped with the St. Tho-mias Collegiate which had one of the bigigest and most experienced teams in years. The first game took place in St. Thomas on Friday, January 31, when our team lost by a score of 24-I7. The Sarnia forwards could not break through the St. Thomas defense and were ,forced to shoot from centre, while the guards could not stop the f-ast St. Thomas for-
